Cameras ; dark-slides.-In cameras for use with roll-films or plates, the plate is held in the focal plane in the front part of a plate-holder which projects within an opening in the removable back of the camera. The plate-holder has wide flanges which fit against the edges of the opening, and a flexible shutter passes from the front through an opening in the rear plate of the plate-holder. A focusing-plate is mounted on a frame similar to that of the plate-holder, so as to lie within the opening in the focal plane for focusing. The plate-holder comprises three parts, the back part 1, Fig. 13, an intermediate frame 2, Fig. 12, and a front cover 3, Fig. 11. ' A flexible shutter-slide 16, Fig. 1, is inserted through a light-trapped slot 15 in the back plate, and slides in guideways between the intermediate frame and the front cover. The plate is inserted from the front, and is held within the frame 2 between the spring 9 and the lips 7 turned in from the curved end 6, and is pressed forwards by springs 18. The slot 15 for the flexible slide is formed by bending-in a strip 21. The light-trap comprises a series of independently movable fingers 20, Fig. 4, covered with a pile fabric, and secured under the strip 21. The grooves 12 for the shutter are formed between the intermediate frame and the cover. In order to prevent the straight bottom edge 30, Fig. 8, of the flexible shutter from catching the outer bottom edge of the front, the bottom edges 39 are inclined to guide the shutter home. The plateholder is held against the edge of the opening by a catch 33, Fig. 6, under the strip 31, and at the opposite end by a hinged bar 32, the plate thus being within the opening and in the focal plane.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Stapling Machines for use in Making Boxes.
Inventor: DICKER STANLEY GORDON SINCLAIR
IPC: B27F7/28
Filed: 1909-02-08
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 3081. Dicker, S. G. S., [Healy, W.]. Feb. 8. Stapling.-A machine for making boxes, in which staples are driven outwards into the ends of the box, has a complete wire-feed and staple forming and driving mechanism arranged so as to enter the box, which is supported with its end in position to receive the staples. The mechanism comprises primary and secondary staple drivers and means to transfer the staple from the primary driver to the secondary driver. The box is supported on the arm B, which carries the stapling-mechanism and enters the box. The latter is clamped in position by an arm M each time a staple is being driven. The staple-forming mechanism may be of any usual construction, and is set at an angle to the direction in which the staple is finally driven, in order to enable full - size staples to be driven close into the angles of the box. The wire-feeding device g<3>, g<5>, staple-forming device g, and the primary driver g<1> are operated by an arm g<6> to form and drive a staple into a slot c in a pivoted staple-carrier C. This is then swung by means of a rod D into position against the end of the box, with its staple slot in line with the secondary driver I, which is thereupon operated by an arm il to drive the staple outwards into the end of the box. The nose of the arm B is constructed to serve as a guide for the operator in driving a row of staples, and has outwardlyconverging plates b, between which the similarly formed carrier C is positioned during the final driving of a staple. In stapling along the end of the box, it is caused to slide first in contact with one of the converging plates b, then across parallel to the outer face of the carrier C, and finally along the other plate b. Thus, the staples are driven into the cleats close to the sides and bottom of the box. The arm M, rod D, and arms g<6>, i<1> are all operated by cams on the shaft F, and are provided with suitable springs to maintain them in engagement with their respective cams. Owing to the inversion of the staple-forming mechanism, a spring g<8> is provided between the frame G and an ear g<10> on the staple-former g, to sustain the latter in position.

Abstract: 3196. Bouchat, D. Feb. 9. Bleaching and washing, processes for; wool scouring and washing type.-An apparatus for acidifying, degreasing, or washing wool, consisting of an inverted siphon, with a relatively very short shorter arm, through which the wool and treating-liquid are passed together, is modified by fitting to the short arm an additional vertical pipe, of less height than the long arm, having discharge orifices for the liquid at a suitable height. The wool and liquid, introduced through a hopper 2 to the long arm 3 of the siphon, pass down through this arm, through an horizontal portion 5, and then through the short arm 9 and a vertical pipe 10 fitted thereon. The lower portion of this pipe 10 is immersed in the liquid in the tank 8, which embraces the short arm 9, and is perforated with holes 14, through which the liquid drains out of the passing wool. The wool passes on through an horizontal bend 11 of the pipe 10 and so on to squeezing-rollers 12, 13, or directly to drying-apparatus. The base of the pipe 10 is preferably surrounded by a cylinder 15 in case the level of the liquid in the tank 5 should fall. The overflow from the tank 5 is pumped up to the hopper 2. The partial drying of the wool effected in the pipe 10 is facilitated by introducing air through a nozzle 16, which air escapes through small holes 17. Or air may be introduced through a sleeve 18 embracing a perforated portion of the pipe 10, escape being through the open end of the pipe or the nozzle 16. The air is preferably heated and may sometimes be replaced by steam. The wool may be whitened by mixing air with the liquid introduced with the wool.
